Default Bodyshop jig work?

Hey guys,

Recently had someone drive into the back of my car and drive off, and it has slightly pushed in the rear metal bit just below the rear passenger side light, making the light not sit straight. Now it's only been pushed in an inch or two.. so how much jig work would be required and how much would it cost me roughly?

Regards,

ScoobyDoo69

I don't think they would jig that mate. More likely to beat it into shape and body-filler it.

will just need a new back panel at most might even be able to repair the one you have on , unless it has hit the chassis leg then it will need jiging

As above, will probably need a new rear panel, wont need to go on a jig unless the leg has moved and judging by your discription i dont think it will have, take some pics and i'll tell you what i think
